Activity for young people aged 6-11<br />
Why not organise a short assembly<br />
or play about the difference <strong>Fairtrade</strong><br />
makes to the lives of farmers in<br />
poorer countries? Young people<br />
could p<strong>res</strong>ent this in as little as 10-15<br />
minutes at a <strong>Fairtrade</strong> event or in a<br />
lesson. <strong>The</strong>y’ll also need a bit of time<br />
to prepare and make props.<br />
What will you need?<br />
Print the script, or put each part on some card or laminate it.<br />
Before you start, you could use a slideshow or short film to introduce how farmers grow and harvest<br />
bananas and how <strong>Fairtrade</strong> helps them and their communities. <strong>The</strong>re are lots out there, or you could<br />
check out the <strong>res</strong>ources at:<br />

You could also think about:<br />
Costumes and props<br />
A projector and screen, if you<br />
also want to show everyone how<br />
bananas are grown, watch a video<br />
or show the FAIRTRADE Mark and<br />
photos of other <strong>Fairtrade</strong> products<br />
Backdrops, such as a<br />
cardboard mock-up<br />
of a shop in the UK<br />
and some cardboard<br />
banana plants<br />
rep<strong>res</strong>ent where the<br />
growers live<br />
Samples of <strong>Fairtrade</strong><br />
bananas and other<br />
products<br />
<strong>The</strong> script is about banana farmers, but it’s quick<br />
and easy to amend it to focus on another <strong>Fairtrade</strong><br />
crop or product, like chocolate, cotton or sugar.<br />
Young people can act out the parts of children in<br />
the UK, buyers and growers.<br />
A teacher or adult p<strong>res</strong>ents the play with young<br />
people, who work in two groups. <strong>The</strong>re are two<br />
p<strong>res</strong>enters, up to seven farmers, two buyers and<br />
four young people in brief roles.<br />
